Now drag all of the new aliases (they have an arrow on the icon, and ' alias' at the end of the file name) to your new application stacks folder.Te presentamos tres ejercicios para esculpir tu abdomen y lucir fantástica para la primavera. Select all the app icons in the original applications folder, and click on 'make aliases' in the file menu. Just create a folder somewhere, call it applications stack. Maybe apple thought this was less confusing? My wife still thinks she can delete stuff she's downloaded by deleting it from the safari downloads window, so they're probably right! As it is, the stack is an actual folder with actual files in it, so if you drag something into it, the original item gets moved. being able to drag some random files into a stack to create a new one. That could get confusing, and messy on the screen, but it would be damn handy.Ģ.
hierarchical stacks, and being able to open a 'sub-stack' of a folder in a stack. I've thought about it a bit more, and there's only really 2 things that have a definite benefit missing:ġ.

I am hoping for both issues to be fixed in a future software update. It's not so much about what Stacks could have been that is the problem, but what was taken away in the process. I think most people complaining about Stacks feels the same way. What I DO take issue with is that they took away the hierarchical dock folder feature, which is something I DID use every day. The only difference is that it is only enabled when you have a folder in the dock. As I said before, in their current implementation, "stack view" is just another way of viewing folder content, like Column View or Cover Flow. I don't really mind that Stacks are less than what was originally promised - I don't see myself using them that much anyway. Whether for marketing, aesthetics, or technical reasons, we can only speculate. Apple's shipping implementation of Stacks is less than what was previewed. Apple removed the ability to show folder contents from the dock.Ģ. Right, so there are two separate issues at heart here.ġ. It's like someone painted your car and said 'hey, in order to paint the car, I had to make it so the windscreen wipers don't work, you only have one gear and if you want to reverse you have to turn in a circle. It's not even debatable on that point, Stacks offers less functionality than plain old folders in the dock did in Tiger. It'd be bad enough if Stacks didn't offer anything of value new, but the worst part is it actually removes functionality that many of us used in Tiger, without replacing that functionality with something equal or better. This coming after the OS had already been delayed because of the iPhone (Apple's own justification), which seems to me has harmed Leopard quite a bit (and maybe it'll be worth it in the end, but that doesn't fix Stacks now). It's not like we are expecting something out of thin air, Apple previewed features that obviously worked in some form at some stage, and then they took them out and (IMHO.) left Stacks in, in its current, crippled form only because they felt silly removing it entirely after hyping it up already.
What people do or don't expect from Microsoft and how much they charge for their OS is irrelevant here.
Or going to and leaving feedback on issues you have, that's a choice too. Surely 'ranting' is a choice too (expressing an opinion is kind of the point of a forum anyway). Or maybe once all apps leave a stack, there could be a placeholder for the stack. I suppose that app would bounce back to where the stack originally was. But let's say you close an app that wasn't the last one to leave. Sure, the dock would fill up with open apps, but that way you know what's open at a glance.Īnd what would happen if you open all apps in a stack? Well the last app to leave the stack would stay put. And when you close the app, it bounces back into the stack? I think that would be a good way to do it. Or it could even just bounce out and sit beside the stack. when you click an app in a stack to open it, it bounces out of the stack, and goes to the right side of the dock, as if you opened an app from the finder that isn't kept in the dock. If there's more than one, they could appear side by side, or something. maybe when you mouse over a stack, if there's an application open inside it, it would appear above the stack? Like how the name of an application appears above the icon when you mouse over.
Yeah, I didn't think about how you'd know which app was open in an application stack.īut how about this.
